I've owned S, T, and F models. To me the X100T is the best version. Image quality is already great. No need for focus joystick added in the F version. No need for ISO selection dial. I had one button to switch between 200 and auto ISO and it covered 99.9% of my needs.

I bought the original at the beginning of 2019. It's the perfect walkaround camera.

I own the S and I love it, never felt the need to change it for another quickdraw camera, its travelled with me a lot and I am sure it will continue to do so until the day it stops working.

Brilliant review, and so rare to get a no-nonsense look across a complete range particularly when you are looking at a possible purchase. Thank you so much.

I’ve been using the S since 2014 and it’s the one and only camera that I’ve missed when I forgot to bring it with me when I travel. I also think that with the old lens, 16MP is the sweet spot, which is also why I didn’t go for the F when it came out. I bought the V a few days ago and I absolutely love the tilting screen and the sensor/lens combination. Also, weather sealing means I won’t have to worry about it in the rain. It is the ultimate refinement for the classic X100 series in 2020. I will be keeping both since I really like the characteristics of the S’s sensor/lens combination, and I do agree with you that if I have a limited budget and can only get one of them, it would be the S.

I’m buying the X100 as a candid walk arounds when we do weddings! $249. Thanks for the review. Perfect 👌🏻

These are all awesome cameras. I actually still shoot with my Fujifilm X10, bought new in 2012. The sensor is smaller than the x100, but it has a nice zoom, manual controls, and looks great. Oh, it takes tack-sharp images.

Great video Matt, great to see all of the lineup together. I'm from the UK and I bought the 100F to use in a family New York trip at the end of March which obviously got cancelled, but this is a great little light weight camera for every day occasions :) Loving it so far :)

My compliments Mr Granger. Marvelous review !

Great summary and comparison Matt. One of the features which had me sell my used OG X100 for a used X100T was WiFi. I love printing photos to the Instax SP-2 directly from the camera.

I actually just picked up an X70, wanted something slightly smaller than the X100 for my carry everywhere camera. Loving it so far.

So well done. Thank you for putting this together.

I have the S. I've thought of upgrading many times, but I think you've just saved me some cash. So thank you. It's always great to get unbiased opinions.

This was such a great comparison! I've been shooting with the X100 since it came out and only had the itch for an upgrade recently. No matter what gen you have, the X100 is such a great camera to shoot with. I can't wait to see what the fifth gen will be like.

I bought a Black T about 2 months ago for $375 dollars. I love it. The F is better but the T is a smarter deal I think. The V is too much money for me. Love your videos!

This video was a major pointer to me purchasing an X100S and I have not been disappointed. I love it's retro look and the great picture quality. It's my "in pocket favourite" and definitely re-activated my love of street photography.

got the original back in 2011, still love it and never felt a need to upgrade

Wow thank you!! This really is a helpful video! I bought my first Fuji camera in 2018. A used x100s. Best choice I’ve made. It has turned me into a Fuji fanboy. Thinking really hard of upgrading to the V now🤔

Always good to see a comparison like this, helps me feel good about my X100s I purchased new back when it was new to the market. I actually like the "flaw" in the lens, but then I always have the luxury of having other cameras when I need ultimate in sharpness.

I have an F but upgraded to the V when it was released mainly for the weather sealing I found a lot of situations when I couldn't use the F when travelling because of heavy downpours. For me thst makes the V a worthy upgrade.

I’ve never had an x100 before,so I purchased the x100v and loving it. I do a lot of close up shooting, and the new lens is sharp. I compared it with a new x100f at the a camera store and its really sharper at f2 and close up.

I've got the S and love it. The 16M sensor doesn't expose the flaw of the lens. Also it doesn't require higher shutter speed to combat camera shake. This is one of my cameras that I don't feel any need to upgrade.

Hi Matt...long time follower. Love your content! I’ve had my S since it was first released and it’s by far my most used camera. The 4 way controller wheel became unresponsive/glitchy so I sent it into Fuji for repair. I spoke with them earlier today...since it’s and older model and they no longer have parts, they offered me a brand new X100T as a replacement for $390. I jumped at the offer! Thought this might be useful for someone out there with an older model looking to upgrade. Happy New Year!

great job, Matt! I have the F model and love it! I like the build quality, size, and the wide range of setting you have from a really "take with camera" keep safe and keep up the Great work! Thanks

This was an excellent and concise video! A lot of important info. Hope to see more like this!

I had the F and jumped on the V without hesitation. Even in landscapes and well stopped down the old lens didn't have a chance againts the new one which is visibly better even on moderately sized prints. Lens- and sensor-perfomance really have a love-affair again in the V and you can just shoot along knowing that the optical quality will hardly ever let you down under any circumstances.

Really needed this comparison. Many Thanks

I'm a former Canon user. I bought my first Fuji last year. It was a Finepix S1 that I got for a great price. As much as I love the camera, I've already found myself pushing some of it's limits. I appreciate your breakdown of the X100 series, as it's helping me learn more about the unique models that Fuji has made for the photography community. I've used cameras with flip out LCDs before. Once you use one, the flexibility it offers you makes it difficult to go back to fixed LCDs. I also like weather resistant cameras, as I do a lot of outdoor photography (I also sometimes grab the camera to take macro shots with my grubby hands, while I'm in the workshop).

Wow! Good video. The Fujiverse thanks you for taking the time to do the historical overview. Plus, I agree with you about the added benefit of the tilting screen.

i bought the F used after having sold my T. Thank you for taking the time to review all 5 models. Great job!

Matt, thank you for your comprehensive historical review of the X100 Fuji series. I recently went from the 100F to the 100V for the new lens, the weather proofing, and the beautifully integrated tilting screen among other features. And yes, I just couldn't resist the handsome industrial design in silver. I use my 100V as my everyday camera, and my minimalist street and travel camera. Lovin' every minute!

I started with the x100. Upgraded to the T and stopped. I am satisfied with the T.

Great comparison! I've own a 100S from 2020, and the quality and practicality for every day shooting is fantastic for me. My 12yo daughter also loves it!

Thanks for such an informative comparative guide. It confirmed that I’m right in concentrating my search on the X100S or possibly the X100F.

Interesting choice. I own a X100S for several years now and I love it. Never really wanted to upgrade, until the X100V came out. The decision isn't made yet, because it is a lot of money and I do not really need it. But I'd appreciate the higher resolution and the tilting screen might be a really useful option too. Well, I think I will rent one and try it. A really great comparison by the way!

Hi Matt, thank you for this great video! Lot’s of greetings, Dennis 🇳🇱

I recently purchased the x100F from KEH! Very happy with it!

Still love my original x100 for vacation and walking around it’s great!

I got myself a x100 limited edition last year and its since day 1 my on the go camera :)

Fantastically comprehensive review. A wealth of information here and the video explains exactly what I wanted to know when I asked myself "I wonder what the real difference is between all these versions of the x100".

Cracking review Matt, I've loved this system since buying a used original in 2012, unfortunately that developed the SAB issue and Fuji wouldn't do the free repair as I didn't have the receipt. So bit the bullet and bought a new T, this thing blew my mind I loved it literally to death, drowning it in a freak flash flood. Replaced with the F which I still use and adore. I sorely want to upgrade to the V just because it's shiny and new, but TBH at this moment in this crazy world I cant see a rational reason to upgrade. The F still produces the goods consistently without an issue. As a press photographer I lug around a full heavy canon kit all day so on my down time this wee but mighty fujifilm system is an absolute joy to use. The vast majority of the stills in the videos on my channel are shot with the X100 system it really never lets me down. New subscriber for you mate.

I own the x100t and love it. Started with the X100. Am considering the V.

I have been thinking about purchasing one of these. So this was the perfect video for me. Thanks.

Bought a silver copy of the S about half year ago, 330 CND with a "Fujifilm" leather case, a charger and a metal hood. Loving this little thing and shooting on it frequently.

Great comparison of all the models. They all look like very nice cameras. Thanks for sharing.

I think you forgot to mention that the x100v is the first one which got weather sealing. This might be a big deal for some. The weather sealing, the bigger battery, resolution, lens and tilting screen made me upgrade from x100t to x100v. But I don't like the OLED viewfinder.

This was a very good video my G. Thank you 👌🏽

I sort of have a love-hate relationship with the x100 series. I bought an S, then sold it. Felt bad so bought another one. Used it on and off then upgraded to an F and eventually sold it. The advantage of the F was the batteries are the same as my X-T2 and X-H1 as well as major upgrade in focusing.. Fortunately I bought them used as they tend to plummet in value. It's almost worth it for the leaf shutter flash advantages alone which are awesome. I finally decided that I don't "see the world" in the 35mm construct like most people claim and that the 50mm equiv seems to be the ticket, at least in my view. I wasn't enamored with the teleconverter, may as well just have an interchangeable lens camera. So I decided to use the proceeds to buy the 35mm f1.4 for my X-H1 and pocket the remaining cash for now. It's been happily bolted to the camera for awhile now and that's working out well. Who knows, maybe I'll get bit by the 100 bug again down the road..

Best x100 video comparison by far! THANK YOU MATT!!!

Way late to the party I am but this is one of the best product review/comparison videos on RU-vid. Thank you.

Thanks Matt for the excellent review, you always have useful content on the channel. I always wanted to jump into the X100 series but continue to stay with a more traditional approach using interchangeable lenses. So based on your recommendation, going to look for an S and take the plunge. Cheers and keep up the great work.

Great longitudinal review and thoughtful recommendations.

Fantastic overview Matt. I had the S, I'm thinking about getting the V now.

As an older user of the third and fourth version, and as a rain lover, the (climate sealed and better low light) fifth iteration is what the X100 lovers have been waiting for... so, if I would can, I will buy the fifth with the two lens converter ;) Nice comparison Matt, I hope you and all your closers are fine in NYC. My regards to you all.

Fabulous articulate discerning commentary BRAVO

I bought an X100F in December 2019 to replace an aging Sony digital camera. I'm used to 35 mm film SLR's but wanted a handy small high quality 'carry around' camera when I didn't want to carry around a bulky SLR with a bagful of lenses. At first I was daunted and confused by the plethora of features and controls on the exterior of the camera but now that I've become more accustomed to it I really like it..especially the built-in film simulations and built-in neutral density filter. And the non-interchangeable lens is not really an impediment for me..I find myself concentrating on composition and the built-in digital 'short zoom' capability is fine for my purposes. The only complaint I have is the placement of the 'Q' button; I've pressed it accidentally with my thumb on numerous occasions at a critical moment but that is a function of simply keeping in mind where I place my right thumb when grasping the camera. Other than that a wonderful photographic instrument I have no regrets at laying out the cash for it. And it simply looks 'retro cool'..reminds me of the classic film rangefinder cameras. The X100V came out the month after I bought my X100F..I don't feel slighted at the least that I didn't wait for the new model.

Interesting reading the comments. I have had the S for a long time now and it does everything I want. I've used it also to video my band on many occasions (obviously handing it over to someone else for the gig) and it has done a great job of that too. I'll keep it till it falls apart on me. Super everyday camera.

Can't wait to see your video about XT4！

I have the S since 2013, bought used. I love it still and don’t feel the need to upgrade it. Size is perfect and fits in your pocket. Miss WiFi but happy with it!

I currently have the S. It's pretty amazing that these go for only around $300. It's a great sophisticated bag/travel cam and while I do like the 'specs' of the F/V, for my use it's certainly not worth the extra $1000. Great vid as always.

I've currently got the S. It's a fantastic walkaround camera that can take a little beating being put into my work bag or backpack. I'm very tempted by the V, though. Thanks for this comparison!

Thank you for this great video. I choosed the X100 because I found one for 200 euros in a very good shape. Also, it's a way to get used to the X100 series and see how I feel with that, on time. I know that the image quality still is very good. I am a slower user. I think that the cmos sensors have something special...

Fascinating review. Thank you!

I've still got the original X100 which I bought new when it first came out. It's a great little street camera but the only thing that really bugged me was that it was so easy to knock the Exposure Compensation Wheel just by taking the camera out of the case. I thought at the time that it would have been so easy to have a lift and turn type wheel so you don't change the setting accidentally and not notice until reviewing the shots. Did they ever change that design in later models?

I own the F and I think it’s great. The only thing it’s missing is weather sealing.

I loved the video!! I bought the 100f last year used and love the heck out of it! It would be great if you could do the same for the X-Pro line too! I fell in love with the fuji system after getting an X-T20 and haven't looked back since. They reinvigorated my love of photography.

X100 still got mine and image quality is still relevant in 2020! it ages pretty well.

I'm picking up an X100S tomorrow!

This was a perfectly done video. Nice job.

Thanks for this video, now i know what order these came out. Just starting out I am noting the X100s

i had the original x100 3 yrs,sold it regret it (i had other FF gear) and bought the x100f since it came out,in love it sooooo mutch!

Picking my first real camera the fuji x100s in a few days, damn excited!

I bought a black “S” approx four months ago. I live in the NYC metro area and before COVID-19 hit I was shooting street photography with it almost daily. It’s a hell of a camera and I’m extremely pleased with it. It holds up very well compared to more modern cameras and would highly recommend it to anyone for Street and travel Photography.

Great video Matt! It must be getting harder and harder to go outside in NY. Stay safe! I have bought Fuji X100t when it first came out and used it exclusively for 2 years (lots of travel and events photography). I loved the handling and colours in the jpeg, but eventually sold it because of slow auto focus in low light and plastic-like skin rendering at high ISOs. I have replaced it with Leica Q and that completely solved my main complaints I had with the Fuji. The latest Fuji X100V looks quite nice though, especially with the new lens. That was another weak point I felt with the “T”. Good luck and looking forward to your next video!

Hello, thankyou for your information! I was wondering what would be the best camera if i want to use it to photograph my paintings and make them digital. Is the fuji x100 a good camera for that purpose? Thanks

Matt: Your video is THE best comparison available today, IMHO. Following your arguments, really any of these from the S onwards, is worth buying today, and they are distinguished perfectly in the used market by each's price differential. Perhaps the S is the best value overall. In the past, I had both the original and the S and made many memorable images with both. The "soft wide open" problem is overblown; certainly it never spoiled any of my shots and I usually shot at ƒ2 or 2.8. The ND filter is excellent and the built-in flash is amazing for fill.

I just bought an S, $400 AUS and I’m loving it, like you mentioned I don’t feel I’m missing anything, and my other camera is a Z9

Love my T! I really like the in-body charging and I do a lot of timelapses with it.

Matt, thank you for the great review. I was a user of the X100 and the 100T. From what you said, I can see absolute value in the F, but you sold the V when you discussed the Series ll lens.

X100V all the way. I owned the X100F and then I sold it because it never felt refined compared to my other Fuji cameras. The X100V is super refined and the tilting screen is very useful. I also own the XT3, and XT4.

Great video. I bought a X100F new at Christmas. I looked at the X100V, but I gt the F for $1000. For me, I didn't need the updates for the V. I switched out some Canon gear to get the F. Then I decided to look at The X-T3 vs. the new X-T4. Same deal here. For what I'm doing, the X-T3 is just fine. I love the Fuji cameras. Elegant design. I kept my Canon 5D Mark III, and most of my Canon lenses. It's nice to have the options. One reason I went to the X100F was size and weight. Wanted something a little less cumbersome to carry around.

If I were considering one of these as my only camera, I'd definitely get the V. I got an "F" last summer as just a carry around and use it a lot. It was actually the gateway camera that lured me into Fuji. Back when I was actually going into the office, I'd just pop it in my work bag with a neoprene protective sleeve. On vacation it's the camera I like to carry at night so I'm not drawing attention to myself with an ILC and camera bag. The lens definitely shows its age, as you say, but in the plus column is: D-pad + joystick and the 24mp sensor (which in my opinion is really special). I think the V looks killer, but I'm not happy about losing the D-pad as I like external controls, and I already have that sensor. I might pick up an "S" at some point, just to have that 16mp sensor. It's really nice.

X100s - got it a couple of weeks ago and I love it.

My sister who is a professional photographer in California has the X100F as her "personal creative" camera and she loves it and calls it her baby :)

Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

Another great video thank you very much Matt I'm in the market for the X100S and you helped me make my decision. My photography business will be changing drastically after this global crisis and if the S model works out well after I get rid of everything except my medium format gear I plan to then get the V

Bought the ver 1 in 2012 then the S in ‘black’ a year later. Since then have lost track of all the upgrades. Happy to see my 100S came through so well, and it’s black!

Excellent info and analysis. Thanks.

I have the T and I'm quite satisfied with it. I bought it as a travel / street cam and it fits the role perfectly, no regrets buying. Although I think Fuji is stuck now with the naming since the next one will be sixth and seventh and they've already used the "s" in second.

Amazing video , thanks 🙏

Just picked up a used x100f on eBay for just under $750 with taxes and shipping included. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

I just picked mine up for $900 in Silver 10/10 condition with the manuals, box, and extra accessories. Such a beautiful camera. I was going to get the X100V but the price is not worth it and I really like the D-Pad on the F because they remove the D-Pad in the V.

Good comparison-thank you!

I’ve had the S, T and F and I’d say the T is the sweet spot. It’s way speedier than the S and for me the Wi-Fi capability is essential given that I shot with the film simulations and post to social media mostly. One advantage of the F is greater crop-ability due to those extra megapixels, but the Q button drives me crazy (so easy to accidentally click) and you can’t turn it off.

I have an X-e3 with the two pancakes (18 and 27mm) and the 18-55 kitlens. Recently I borrowed an x100s from a friend when my x-e3 was being cleaned and I loved the lens. I started looking for the xf 23 but couldn't decide between the 2.0, the 1.4 and the viltrox and was very much on the fence because of the sizes of those lenses when I got a very nice offer of a lightly used black x100t for €375. Seeing as this is about the price for the 23mm lens (the viltrox is slightly cheaper) but I get a complete very usable camera with it for free, I have taken this opportunity and now, thanks to your review, own two cameras and have pretty much covered all the ranges I shoot most frequently. The only thing on my list now are a nice 35 or 50 lens for portraiture, but I don't shoot portraits that often, so I am not really in a hurry there and the kitlens has my covered for now.

I agree with your choice! After using multiple fujis over the years, each sensor has a distinctive look, and the 16mp really has a beautiful natural quality to it that my current X H1 doesn't quite match

I purchased the X100F. It was one version below the current version when I bought it. I liked the autofocus

Hi Matt.Nice review, as usual ! With the X100T, Fuji introduced wi-fi communication that allows the camera to be controlled remotely by a phone, or for rapid file transfert and geotagging . This was a deal breaker for me when I was looking for a used version of this camera.

I have an XE2 with a 35mm f1.4 and I want to get a 35mm equivalent lens. Would you suggest to just get a used X100s or get a 23mm f2? The X100s option is cheaper here in Singapore.
